Former Gunstock Area Commissioner and Current “Citizens for Belknap’s” Brian Gallagher Was Out to Silence “Trouble-Makers”?

by Skip

Yes, THAT Brian Gallagher.  The one who has been writing Letters to the Editor in the Daily Sun, making sure that he was the “Responsible” one calling out the Extremists; in the latest filing for the Citizens for Belknap, he’s listed as Treasurer.

You know, that Democrat-founded and led Political Action Committee that has lambasted Conservative Republicans for months?  He’s a Republican that consorted with hard-core Democrats to do so.  So what’s in it for you, Brian?

Does this email raise questions – including some concerning “integrity” and “long term in political planning”?

Like staying on the Belknap Area Commission, as CHAIR for MONTHS after he sold his house in Belknap County (a mandatory requirement in RSA 399, the enabling statute authorizing Gunstock). That former Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch spent taxpayer money in trying to figure out how to keep Gallagher on the Commission. THAT’S acting “responsible”, Brian?

You started on the GAC in 2017 and stayed on until early this year (and never mentioned in your resignation speech that you had moved out of the County).  But folks, look at that second billing date: 11/18/20. And it is apparent that Gary Kiedaisch was looking for a “rug to sweep it under”.  And in another email to Rebecca LaPense, it was CLEAR that Gary Kiedaisch was adamant that the new Master Development Plan was going to be ramrodded through…

Hi Tom

Can you please have the following done for this evenings meeting 1. Print 8 copies of the final response to the GAC charges. Becky should have them from Tom.  DONE
2. Bring an easel to this evenings meeting. I have the large master plan map and we’re going to approve that this evening.

…until it wasn’t (trouble makers). Except now, having removed (getting ahead of myself here) “the trouble makers“, you are going to see another run on getting that hotel built on Gunstock other peoples’ properties?

So what else went on under the surface, Brian? You willing to ‘fess up to your formerly “fellow Republicans”?  You know, “the trouble makers“:

Hi Becky:

Yes if possible to have the notice posted at the library and if that can be done have the actual posting include the same as a location posted.

In terms of adding to the calendar that would be very helpful as well going forward. My goal of course is to silence the trouble makers.

Thank you for the RSA update as well. My best.

Yeah, thanks for giving us a bit more insight into this “silence the trouble makers“; was making them lose their relection bids for asking uncomfortable questions? Questions that you didn’t want asked AND having the authority to get those uncomfortable answers?  THOSE kind of trouble makers, Brian?I’m betting that was part of your  “my goal” as well.  How about that, Brian?  Willing to do some ‘splainin’ for us all?  Let us all in those secrets?

And yet you pose as the “non-partisan” one even as you are the treasurer of a Democrat PAC.  And why is it that you continue, in your Letters to the Editor, Daily Sun, to state that you still live in Sanbornton (here, here, here, here, and here)? Even as the PAC you drove was the entity creating the chaos?

I’m betting I’ll find a few more. It’s clear that what happened in the runup for the Primaries wasn’t a “quick and dirty” just because of seating arrangements.

Stay tuned.

Here’s the entire thread in reverse chronological order.

Hi Brian,

We will have it posted tomorrow at the Gilford Public Library (they are closed on Sunday) and
meeting notice updated to include that posting location.

I talked to Tom and Kristen about adding the GAC public meeting dates to the Events Calendar and
they are okay with that. One of us will let you know when it’s been published to the Events

Calendar…shouldn’t be very long.

Hi Brian,

Happy New Year!!!

Thank you for your patience in getting back to you this week – I’ve asked Tom and
Kristen about posting the GAC meeting dates on the Gunstock Events calendar, stand
by for an update on that.

The January 19th meeting notice was posted on November 30th with the Gilford Public
Library listed as the location. Are you asking that we also post the meeting notice
physically at the Gilford library? Just clarifying your request below…

RSA 91-A:2 requires that meeting notices be posted in “2 appropriate places one of
which may be the public body’s Internet website, if such exists, or shall be printed in a
newspaper of general circulation in the city or town”. We are not required to post
meeting notices in the newspaper since we regularly post them in 3 appropriate places
– online at GUNSTOCK.COM, here in the Admin Office and County Commissioner’s
office.

Notices for public hearings are required to be published in a paper of general
circulation in the municipality and posted in at least 2 public places, which is our
normal practice for the RAN hearings.
Cheers!
Becky

Good morning Becky:
Since we are having out next GAC meeting on the 19th, kindly have the notice
updated to show it is being posted at the Gilford Library location. Is it possible (without
to much effort) to include on the Gunstock website (front page) where events are
posted via the calendar where events are listed to include our meeting notice
there as well for 1/19/22.
From your knowledge is there any statutory requirement that we put a notice in the
newspaper. I am not aware of one but just checking.
My best.
Brian
